sion, I strongly recommend working with community based, governmental, and private organizations that would aid our commission in fulfilling its legal mandate.

Mr. FEDORAK: Well, the memorandum is before you. I’d like to call your atten¬tion to the four items which I am proposing for us to take into consideration, and namely, as they relate to the
goals of the Commission:

Establish a distinct library of Congress classification for the Ukrainian famine which would highlight the famine’s uniqueness with regards to Ukrainian population; classification titles such as Ukrainian famine, famine in the Ukraine would be apropos. Such classification would have a positive result in terms of gathering all published materials for public use and consumption.

The second point that I’d like to call to your attention is to establish a depository at some university for publications, archives and information which would be centrally lo¬cated for research purposes. And I guess a point that has been discussed and belabored relating to the work of the Department of Education for the implementa¬tion of the famine into the textbooks of secondary and undergraduate world history curricula. Recent problems have developed in various states regarding the famine’s in¬clusion and space allocation into various state board of education world history cur¬ricula. Examples of this have recently developed in New York, New Jersey, and Ohio.

Then the last proposal, which I think is important and should be maybe paraphrased, is review and update already published government documents and com¬munity documentation on the Ukrainian famine as part of the archives that I hope could be eventually established. Thank you.
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Fedorak.
Dr. KUROPAS: I’d just like to ask Bohdan, do you feel that this library should be
established in the Library of Congress?
Mr. FEDORAK: I am more concerned about the classification because as I under¬stand, we do not enjoy that privilege on the Ukrainian side right now to have Ukraine as a separate section. It’s all under Soviet Union or historically under Russia.
Ms, MAZURKEVICH: I don’t think that this Commission has authority over the Library of Congress.
Mr. FEDORAK: No, not at all. I’m not suggesting that. I’m suggesting that as part of the research effort and as part of the goals that we set for ourselves, that we at¬tempt that the group or call upon the librarian organization or the scholarly council might consider working with the Library of Congress on that to establish that
Mr. MARCHISHIN: Are there any other comments and discussion on Mr. Fedorak’s memorandum?
Yes.
Undersecretary BAUER: Just to make one comment, the Department of Education surprisingly, does not, have any authority over the actual publication of textbooks or the selection of textbooks in any particular school district, but we do have and the Secretary of Education has used it very effectively-we do have the “Bully Pulpit”. We have positions of some notice in the public eye, and we can use those positions to raise concerns about issues like this one, and I think the work of this Commission, working along with those of us at the Department who may, in fact, accomplish your third point
